Phi - Universal Scissors, stainless steel

The universal scissors by Phi are a re-edition of the 50s. A retro office accessory, which upgrades every desk with their elegantly swung shapes.

The poetical design of the stainless steel scissors were initially presented by the designer Antonia Campi in 1958. The Neto scissors, which is the name Campi gave them, were already very popular then. The special design is also presented in the collection of the Pinakothek of Modern Art in Munich – as example of Italian design history.

A re-edition of the shapely scissors is now available thanks to the Swiss company Phi.
The elegant design is available in two sizes. As paper or universal scissors.

the practical use is limited, since the scissors are quickly overstrained with more complicated tasks (e.g. cord or thicker paper). Unfortunately, even regrinding did not help. Since she looks so beautiful, I'll keep her anyway.
